GOOGLE PROJECT GLASS
WHAT IS IT?
Wearable technology.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Imagine the power and capabilities of your smartphone in a pair of glasses: Project Glass offers to take your entire online experiences into a hands-free, augmented reality.
WHAT IS IT LIKE?
Someone joked that this is the new ‘eye phone’. We’ll take it.
DO I NEED IT IN MY LIFE?
Earlier this year, VoucherCodes polled 2,000 people about the product. Although the statistics weren’t incredibly positive - 25% of 18-24yo said they would feel too self-conscious wearing the glasses, and a whopping 51% said they wouldn’t purchase Google Glasses if they were affordable - it will be interesting to see how these stats might change now that the fashion community has been introduced to the item.
Stay tuned for the footage from DVF’s runway show, which goes live September 13th. Watch ‘DVF through Glass’ here.
